After the Day 11 during which 40 poker players took part, the Main Event of the Season 5s last step of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour (ANZPT), which is currently taking place in Queenstown, linked up on Wednesday with the Day 1B. During this second entry day, 30 players joined the tables of Sky Citys poker room. But at the end of the day, there were only 22 players left, after five levels of game. Daniel Laidlaw is at the top of the chipcount with a stack of 85,900 chips. Laidlaw established most of his chips on the elimination de Daniel Mayoh.

Among the survivors of te day, we find also Luke Brabin, Daniel Levy, Daniel Neilson, Michael Fadersen, Casey Kastle, Dean Schneider, Kenny Frisby, Karl Radel and Jordan Westmorland. Daniel Laidlaw is the temporary chipleader of the 48 survivors, at the end of the two departure days. Finalist of the ANZPT Queenstown in 2012, Ricky Kroesen managed to qualify also for the Day 2, but with a little stack 6,785 chips. The last departure day of this main event, at 1,800 of the ANZPT Queenstown Snowfest, will be held this Thursday and should receive more people than Days 1A and 1B. The organizers have also taken advantage of this last event of the season to present an overview of the Season 6. Three events were presented on the occasion and the rest will be reported later: ANZPT Auckland (November 20th  24th), ANZPT Perth (February 26th March 4th) and ANZPT Sydney (March 20th  24th).
